The Tesla of Scooters: bo M2 Review
The bo M2 isn’t like most scooters. I’ve been calling it the Tesla of scooters—not just because of the way it looks, but because of the design philosophy behind it. It’s not built for people who already ride scooters; it’s for people who want something better than what scooters usually offer. So who exactly is this for? Let’s talk about it.
Designed by Automotive Engineers
bo was founded by a group of engineers from Jaguar, Land Rover, and Williams—people who know luxury vehicles inside and out. Their goal? To take everything they’ve learned about premium automotive design and bring it to the scooter world.
That’s why the bo M2 feels less like a toy and more like a personal vehicle. It’s made for people who want to move through their city with the same confidence they’d have behind the wheel of a luxury EV.
Filling the Gap Between Cheap and Extreme
The scooter market today is polarized. On one end, you’ve got flimsy folding scooters that shake apart after a year of use. On the other, you’ve got the high-powered monsters that hit 60 miles per hour and weigh as much as a small motorcycle.
bo saw an opportunity in the middle—a scooter that’s smooth, beautifully designed, and actually enjoyable to ride every day. Something for the person who just wants to get from A to B with style and stability.
Form: Premium, Intentional Design
Even before you turn it on, you can tell the bo M2 is something special. The unibody aluminum chassis gives it a sculpted, confident stance. It feels planted—solid under your feet. Every touchpoint feels intentional and overbuilt, from the handlebars to the lighting system.
One major design choice: it doesn’t fold. That might sound like a drawback, but it’s actually one of the most defining features. bo’s team wanted to eliminate the weak point that every folding hinge introduces. The result is a single-piece frame that dramatically improves stability and control.
Then there’s the look—think Lucid Air meets Cybertruck. Clean lines, smooth curves, and a subtle halo light bar across the front. It’s a head-turner.
Function: A Seamless, Thoughtful Experience
The setup experience feels Apple-like. You open the box, lift the scooter out, and you’re ready to ride. No assembly. No frustration. Just plug it in and go.
bo intentionally ships it fully assembled—even though that makes shipping more expensive—because they wanted the customer experience to be effortless.
Once you start riding, you notice the torque immediately. The 1,270-watt peak motor doesn’t make this the fastest scooter on the planet, but it’s powerful and consistent. Hills are no problem, and acceleration feels confident without being jarring.
The M2 can hit around 25 mph and offers about 42 miles of range on a single charge. Its sibling, the M1, tops out closer to 15 mph with less range, but both share the same design DNA.
Ride Quality
Despite having no visible suspension, the ride is surprisingly smooth. The large air-filled tires and what bo calls the “Air Deck” absorb bumps impressively well. The stability is unreal—thanks in part to bo’s Safe Steer system, which automatically centers your handlebars and keeps the ride balanced, even at low speeds.
There’s dual braking—one traditional, one regenerative—so braking actually feeds power back into the battery, just like in electric cars. Add in full waterproofing, integrated lights, and clever “Lock & Load” loops for carrying bags or securing the scooter to a rack, and it’s clear bo thought through every detail.
Who It’s For
The bo M2 isn’t for thrill-seekers or scooter purists. It’s for the urban commuter—the young professional who lives downtown, the designer who bikes to the office but wants something cleaner, the person who values design and ease over top speed.
It’s for the person who wants a personal vehicle that looks as good as it rides. One that saves you from gas stations, Ubers, and crowded subways.
Final Thoughts
bo has created something rare: a scooter that feels like a lifestyle choice rather than a utility. It’s not the cheapest option, but that’s kind of the point. With prices starting around $1,390 for the M1 and $1,890 for the M2, you’re investing in something that’s built to last—both mechanically and aesthetically.
If you’re ready to replace short car trips with something cleaner, quieter, and a whole lot better looking, the bo M2 might be it.
